The integration of Via LTI and Canvas will enable instructors to seamlessly manage student data exchanges in a FERPA-compliant manner between the two platforms, according to a Via release, while also mitigating instructor administration issues when the Via platform is used to engage students simultaneously in any classroom configuration, including distance and hybrid classes.

"Our mission is to make Via Response incredibly easy to use, while providing the most advanced student response platform on the market," said Via Response President Derrick Meer. "Integration with Canvas simplifies the ability for both students and instructors to simultaneously utilize Canvas and Via within a single view."

Additional benefits of the integration include FERPA-compliant student data transfers and the ability to launch Via from within the Canvas environment, enabling in-class polling and assessments that take place on any student device in any location, synchronously.
